'Painterly Thoughts' was taken from the backseat of a taxi in Kolkata on a rainy day. The city was moving around me, and the window turned into this soft, blurry canvas. Colors started to blend, shapes got a little lost, and it all began to feel more like a painting than a photo. What really caught my eye was the man’s stare in the rearview mirror. He looked so calm while everything outside felt loud and messy. The rain, the reflections, the motion...it all just clicked for a second. This image is about those little in between moments that sneak up on you and somehow feel bigger than they are.
